Today was a first….we made it to Ohio! What will 2018 bring? Michigan perhaps?

Although I absolutely love the treasure hunting, the scenic road trip and of course the pancake dinners at Cracker Barrel what I love, love, love the most are the amazing, kind and interesting people I meet along the way. This year we ended the trip in College Hill, Ohio and met such a wonderful, spirited, joyful group of people from Serve NCH doing great things not only for their immediate community but also the greater community by collecting medicine bottle for Doctors Without Borders. Good vibes…

Often the question comes up of how and where do I get inspired from a design perspective…

For me it’s simply that I get out there with me eyes wide open no matter where I am with ferocious curiosity. I look up, look down, open doors, ask questions and go into corner’s (you never know what you might miss otherwise) of wherever my adventure might take me. Those adventures are sometimes a hike out in the wonderful world of Mother Nature, exploring a city and all it has to offer, rummaging through a flea market or in this case an amazing visit to Palm Springs.

Palm Springs for me was an EPIC ULTRA hotbed for all things design and inspiration…here is my Show & Tell.

To know me is to know my obsession with macrame. From accessories to hanging plant holders to my well curated macrame owl collection featured in my laundry room…I am all in!

So when one has a deep connection with a knotty natural hand craft like macrame you can only imagine one’s (my) absolute surprise and delight when I was window shopping at Pucci (dream of all dreams!) and found this BEYOND AMAZING bag. I could not help myself and had to take the bag for a spin around the shop…it felt so right, looked so great and was SOOO me but as all things must come to an end I reluctantly yet fiscally responsibly put the bag back on its pedestal and moved on.
